WEEK 4:<\/span><\/p>\n

Production:<\/p>\n

The past week was spent researching our target demographic, meeting with industry experts (educators and teachers from high school participating in the NRL program), prototyping, finalizing branding, getting faculty input, locking design, and planning for each sprint through the remainder of the semester. Additionally, I spent some time populating the project backlog and ranking priorities based on the design we have been developing.<\/p>\n

Programming:<\/span><\/p>\n

In this week, we are making prototype based on ARkit2. At first, we have a lot of problems about setting up build environment. Because ARKit2 was just released on June and even the Unity official website doesn’t have a final plugin or package, we suffered a lot from its frequent update. However, the good news is when we finally worked it out, we will satisfied with the stability of ARKit2 and it seems we can do more on it.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this prototype, we focus on making our “bot” move around in the real world. We use two analog sticks to control our bots. The left one is to control weather move forward or backward. THe right one is to turn left\/right. We made a arena in our project room using some black tapes. We ask others try to move the bots following tracks and almost everyone can do that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Design:<\/span><\/p>\n

For week 4, it was necessary to get ready for our meeting with the school kids from the Cornell School District. As a preparation for that, we created a set of questions to ask based on a video we showed them about Bot building. The package created for focus testing was as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n
